About

The battlefield of the future will be highly volatile in nature. Employing weapons systems of increased complexity and mobility, in which they will be operating in a fully integrated environment (see Appendix A). Thus, the maintenance doctrine and concepts associated with the three categories of maintenance were found to be inadequate and inconsistent in providing responsive support to the AirLand battle. Therefore, the Army has returned to the four levels of maintenance in order to provide responsive support to the AirLand battlefield. The Army's maintenance support requires change to accommodate new battlefield environments, new equipment, and new methods of employment. The Department of the Army (DA) has decided to change to a maintenance structure that will satisfy these requirements.
